Moo cards arrive, more Etsy postings, pricing thoughts

By tcurtin, on September 20th, 2010

Fun fun fun! The Moo mini cards I ordered arrived in fantastic time – less than a week turnaround. (Man, if only they could teach Ponoko that trick…)

I have to say too – the quality of these things is just fantastic. Nice and thick cardstock with a protective laminate on each card. I love that I could put multiple front photos in the pack – as soon as anyone looks at them they instantly want to browse and pick their favorites. Plus the print quality is high, the carrying/shipping box they used is very solid, and the whole process was done with style. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again soon!

I’ve been working a fair amount on figuring out the best prices, and I think I’ve got things set about where they should be. I dropped prices on the Curly Creatures, and have the stopper prices spread from $35 to $55. I still have to do a full accounting of costs so far, but getting everything started has cost enough that I’ll need to move a fair number of pieces before I’m covered. I really do feel like there’s a good market for these buggers though (stoppers especially), and especially once people can touch and feel them… gonzo!

Once the Ponoko stands finally show up, hopefully they’ll fit well enough to bring a set by a few different shops in town and see what people think. (I’ll want to order more too, but only after getting impressions of restaurant and store owners…)
